I definitely agree with you. It seems to me that both, numbers that are too big and negative numbers should give an error. Both functions should be undefined in both cases.

For the people that share this sentiment, can you please explain why ints that are too big should not similarly give an error? I can see both being ok, or both being errors. I just don't see why one should be ok and the other an error. Chris
